Harbor - New Restaurant Slated for Former Gioco Space - In Process of Buildout on South Wabash

It was just a matter of time until someone move into this great space (via Tribune):

Four restaurant veterans with a passion for sailing plan to open Harbor (1312 S. Wabash Ave.) this fall in the South Loop.

Chef/partner Anthony Bernal (formerly of Mastro’s Steakhouse) will oversee an American menu that “pays homage to the Great Lakes and local rivers," but will expand enough to include a raw bar of oysters, shrimp, crab and clams.

We will take a cautiously optimistic view for this one.  Obviously words like "veterans" and "Mastro's" are good reason to believe they'll do well but we still question if this (presumaby) highend concept is right of this space and location.

Hopefully they knock it out of the park!
